GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A 10-day liquor license suspension for The B.O.B. is now expected to start July 4, state officials say.

An order issued Friday, June 27, by the state Liquor Control Commission lists July 4 through July 13 as the suspension dates.

The B.O.B. lost an appeal Thursday in Kent County Circuit Court. Attorneys for the collection of restaurants and bars, at 20 Monroe Ave. NW, argued that a 10-day suspension was too onerous.

The B.O.B. received the punishment for serving an intoxicated Kevin O'Brien, who fell from a stairwell to his death in May 2013.

Liquor control commissioners initially ruled earlier this year the license should be suspended for three days, but when owner Greg Gilmore appealed the decision, commissioners denied the effort and increased the penalty.

During the appeal to a Kent County Circuit Court judge, the suspension was put on hold.

In a Thursday statement, the B.O.B. indicated another appeal to the state Court of Appeals was in the works.

It's unclear whether the court will issue an injunction to halt the license suspension pending more hearings.
